2026-01-08 | 2026-01-10Vanessa | E Pluribus Unum: From Many, One
Boston Symphony Orchestra | Boston - Massachusetts, USA
Presented in collaboration with Boston Lyric Opera
Sung in English with supertitles
Andris Nelsons leads some of today's most acclaimed opera stars in a performance of Samuel Barber's Vanessa, a work many consider the greatest American opera. Vanessa won the Pulitzer Prize in 1958 and premiered at the Metropolitan Opera that same year. Barber wrote the opera to a libretto by Gian Carlo Menotti; their goal was a cosmopolitan, nostalgic work about lost love and the consequences of self-deception. Barber's romantic lyricism is ever-present in this powerfully compelling work, which is the centerpiece of this season's E Pluribus Unum: Out of Many, One Focus.

2026-01-14 | 2026-01-15Verdi – Requiem
Prague Symphony Orchestra FOK | Prague, Czech Republic
Verdi's Requiem was written to honour the memory of the novelist Alessandro Manzoni and the composer also included the previously composed part of Libera me from the intended Mass for Rossini. In it, the soprano sings softly, pleadingly: "Deliver me, Lord..." Little did Verdi know that, like Rossini and Manzoni, he too would achieve immortality through his work. Among those immortal in this way are also the architects Antonín Balšánek and Osvald Polívka, who left us the beautiful Smetana Hall in Prague. It is perfect for great vocal-instrumental opuses. Let us pay tribute to all these greats together with conductor Tomáš Brauner and the stellar cast of singers led by Ester Pavlů and Pavel Černoch.
